Microwave Warning: You Should Never Reheat These 7 Foods

Reheating food using the microwave is a common kitchen ritual in this modern day. You all know about the risks of reheating foods, using certain kinds of containers.

But did you know that some foods pose threats when you reheat them for a second time? Below are foods you should never reheat in the microwave.

1. Rice

Reheating rice in a microwave will not destroy harmful bacteria, instead it gives them with a hot moist environment causing them to multiply. It often contains bacillus cereus, a spores of bacteria which produce toxins that cause mild food poisoning.
